Originally Posted by researcher I had to zoom into the picture, no none of mine have that little line from the diamond to the dot. I have checked. I do apologize for missing that, I didn't see it on my cell phone when looking at the picture. Once I zoomed in on my much larger PC monitor then I...

Originally Posted by dave1251 It's really that simple catch cans have no fuction. If they did it would be installed and it would be part of the maintenance package most new car owners have for the first few years of ownership. Come on...that's a comical answer...you really think the average...

Originally Posted by FlyPenFly Again, these don't work to prevent carbon intake build up so it's pointless to run them. For the sake of conversation, because we can all learn things every day...and for the record I don't run a catch can on my car - what hard proof do you have that there is...

So, since we're talking about it...I'm not Audi expert, by any stretch, but it seems that the kits they are mostly talking about in that Audi thread block, or cap off the intake manifold portion of the PCV system, and the complaint is that you don't get the vacuum from the manifold pulling fresh...

[align:left][/align] Originally Posted by Matagonka OEMs are not that special. Don't know why people think OEM is always the best. Fram Ultra, Amsoil, Mobil 1, STP XL, K&N are much better filters than Honda's OEM. BTW, Hondata > KTuner. Just messing with you. how can i trust your opinion on...

Originally Posted by Dinoburner Doesn`t the oil minder take into account temps ect. It would seem Honda would use an all inclusive algorithym for short trip as well other situations. Perhaps a call to Honda. It's just recently (this week) popped up and said "change oil soon" as I'm approaching...

Originally Posted by anndel Sorry to hear about your vandalism to your car. I would go annually with both oil and filter but downgrade from Amsoil SS to XL. Any reason to downgrade other than cost?

I have 3 cars, a 2003 Honda Civic LX, a 1994 Mustang GT, and a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0.... I'm in the process of rebuilding the Mustang, so I'm not too worried about that, but I'm concerned about how often I should be changing the oil in the new Accord.... Honda's recommendations are to...

Originally Posted by DuckRyder Just run whatever your Honda dealer has, It'll be fine. I've currently got 2 Hamps in service (a long one and a short one) and had my choice of TG/XG/HAMP/A01/A02 for whatever that is worth. Well I ordered a couple of Fram Ultras, so I'll roll with that for this...

Originally Posted by Gebo Those filter pics and packaging make me think some of them may be copy cats. The 001 has a spring loading bypass whereas the 002 doesn't. Well, at least they used to be that way. If I had kept my Hondas, I would have gone with the HAMPs as DuckRyder mentioned in...
